Joseph P. DeFrancesco
President/Owner
The Building Connection, headed by Joe DeFrancesco, is known for exceeding expectations thanks to thoughtful planning, reliability, professionalism and expertise. Joe brought these skills to his business after working on construction projects in high school, college and for some years after college. He was working as a foreman when he combined his craftsmanship, business administration background and entrepreneurial spirit to established his own contract carpentry company in 1981. The business served the Chicagoland area, was extremely successful and in 1992 Joe expanded The Building Connection to include general contracting work and services.
Now it’s hundreds of projects later and The Building Connection is responsible for beautiful and successful custom homes, renovations, remodels, restaurants, hospital construction and office build-outs.
